Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of explicit guided reading instruction during small group instruction on fifth-grade students’ reading comprehension. The measurement tool used was Fountas and Pinnell’s (2017) Benchmark Assessment System and the treatment utilized Richardson’s (2016) The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading. A one-group pre/post design was used to determine the impact of four weeks of explicit guided reading instruction in small group on instructional reading levels. Pre-to-post gains were statistically and practically significant in the areas of instructional reading level and reading comprehension.
